Cell Phones May Be Linked To Breast Cancer For Some

PHILADELPHIA (CBS Philadelphia) – Some doctors say there’s a potential link between cell phones and breast cancer, for certain women. They’re seeing evidence of breast cancer that could be connected to where some women keep their mobile phones.

Cell phones in bras: It’s where some women tuck them, if they don’t have pockets or a purse.

It might be convenient, but 21-year-old Tiffany Frantz fears keeping her cell phone in her bra caused breast cancer. She ended up having a mastectomy.

“It’s kind of coincidental that it’s right where I kept my cell phone,” said Tiffany.

Donna Jaynes also got breast cancer at age 39. Her doctor said where her tumors developed was an unusual distribution, exactly matching her cell phone.

“Yeah, I thought cell phones were safe. I was under the impression that they were,” said Donna.
